Over 15 million gallons of water bubble daily into Budapest's 118 springs and boreholes. The city of spas offers an astounding array of baths, from the sparkling Gellert Baths to the vast 1913 neo-baroque Szechenyi Spa to Rudas Spa, a dramatic 16th-century Turkish pool with original Ottoman architecture. The "Queen of the Danube" is also steeped in history, culture and natural beauty. Get your camera ready for the Roman ruins of the Aquincum Museum, Heroes' Square and Statue Park, and the 300-foot dome of St. Stephen's Basilica.

Capital Circus of Budapest

Reviewed By heftyholon - Auckland, New Zealand

We showed up 5 minutes before a 3pm Sat performance and bought Premium Seats without problem. They weren’t expensive but I’d say seats anywhere will give you a good view if you’re on a budget. The permanent “tent” is very cool as is having a live band accompany the acts. The only animals in the show were a poodle troop, which I think is fine. Apart from that there was a radio control plane act, and an assortment of acrobats and trapeze acts. The clowns speak Hungarian but it’s easy enough to follow what’s happening without understanding what they’re saying. I believe this circus is over 130 years so is something of a Budapest institution. It certainly feels like an authentic local experience rather than a tourist contrivance. I’m pretty sure most of the crowd were Hungarian families. If you’re in Budapest and like circus I’d recommend.

Hungarian State Folk Ensemble

The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble - regarded as one of the best in Hungary, was established in 1951.Its aims were to collect and play authentic folk music and to preserve the Hungarian folk dances and traditional costumes of Hungarian-inhabited areas by putting them on stage for the public.During the more than five decades of its existence, the Ensemble has achieved its aim by revitalizing the culture of the Hungarian people. Their rich and colourful repertoire entitled the Ensemble to be regarded as one of the top touring groups in the world. It has performed in 44 countries across four continents and won the admiration of an audience of more than seven and a half million people. In the last few years the Ensemble encountered special interest in the United States and Canada - which was illustrated by their fourth invitation to undertake a three-month coast to coast American tour in 1994. They have also toured the Far East and Western Europe. The Ensemble consists of 30 dancers, 14 members of the Gipsy Orchestra and 5 members of the Hungarian Folk Orchestra. The choreographies are all based on authentic dances, some of them were collected in isolated villages with dance elements dating back hundreds of years. The extraordinary folk music that inspired Liszt, Bartok and Kodaly is put on stage by both the Folk Orchestra and the world-famous Gipsy Orchestra. The 5 members of the Folk Orchestra play authentic, traditional instruments and perform Hungarian folk music at its highest artistic level. The famous Gipsy Orchestra plays both dance accompaniments and performs alone. Their rich repertoire includes folk music which inspired Hungarian and international classical composers such as Liszt, Brahms, Kodaly and Bartok. Aside from its performances around the country and abroad, the Ensemble gives approximately 90-100 annually performances in its Corvin square theatre, in the Budai Vigado.

Our ticket included pick up and drop off at our hotel. The Duna Paolota was a nice small theater so everyone could see and hear the whole show. There was a group of musicians, mostly violins, playing and, at times, Hungarian dancers in authentic costumes danced on stage. Was a fun evening. They also take your picture which you can purchase if you choose, not pushy.
